This is part 2 of the serie "Amstelveense Poel", a small lake in Amstelveen which borders on the "Amsterdamse bos". This was a man made forrest built from 1934 (crisis years). Alot of people didn't have a job and were forced to work to get a payment. During the World War 2 alot of yewish people had to continue the construction. Alot of these yewish people had to live in Labor camp which were stationed at the north part of the bosbaan (north part of the Amsterdamse bos). Eventually the construction is finished in 1964 and the last trees were placed by childeren at 1970 at the national treeparty day. The "Amsterdamse bos" now is a much visited location for people from the surrounding cities like Amsterdam, Amstelveen & Amstelveen.
